Combining entrepreneurial agility with corporate expertise, Bluemorrow is the future business builder for global leaders. We blend human experience with AI-powered foresight, innovation and venture building to help companies explore new horizons and drive growth for a brighter tomorrow and a bluer planet. For an upcoming engagement in consumer wellbeing and neurotechnology, we are looking for a senior scientist who can bring scientific rigour and a forward-looking view to our team.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
The role is that of a domain expert: you contribute your scientific knowledge of the field to strategic engagements with a long-term, future-oriented perspective.
Domain Expertise and Evidence Assessment
- Share a well-founded view on the mechanisms of autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR), ideally from a neuroscience perspective.
- Explain the prevalence of non-responders in the general population, and whether apparent non-response reflects true immunity or exposure to personally irrelevant stimuli.
- Assess whether ASMR-inducing sounds must be recognisable or personally meaningful, and whether combining auditory and C-tactile stimuli could increase the intensity or consistency of the response.
Expert Dialogue and Future Perspectives
- Take part in structured expert interviews and, where useful, in workshops with senior stakeholders.
- Bring an informed view on emerging research and on how well ASMR generalises to real-world settings with less privacy, such as public transport versus home, and assess the plausibility and attractiveness of new applications.
Review and Sparring
- Review interim findings and assumptions for scientific soundness, and challenge them from a researcher's perspective.
- Explain complex perceptual and affective dynamics clearly to a non-specialist, executive audience.
QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS
- Experience: PhD in neuroscience, psychology or a related field, with 6+ years of research experience and published work on ASMR in healthy or clinical human samples.
- Core expertise: Solid understanding of ASMR triggers, individual differences in responsiveness and the methods used to measure them, including physiological or neuroimaging approaches.
- Future orientation: Forward-looking, strategic mindset with a strong interest in how scientific insight translates into new products and experiences. Able to think beyond today's state of the art.
- Communication: Able to explain your field clearly and concisely to non-specialists and senior decision makers.
- Language: Good command of English required.
- Research on related phenomena such as frisson, aesthetic chills or misophonia
- Experience with combined auditory and tactile stimulation paradigms
- Experience collaborating with industry, media or consumer audio teams
- Experience in facilitating or contributing to workshops
PRACTICAL DETAILS
- Engagement type: Freelance / independent consultant
- Time commitment: Flexible, depending on your availability and the needs of the engagement. This ranges from selective expert input on demand (a few days in total) to a more active role in the project team (up to 40 to 60% FTE during intensive phases). Exact allocation agreed individually.
- Location: Remote-first. Occasional travel to client locations may be required.
- Confidentiality: Standard NDA required. Candidates should confirm they have no conflicting engagements in the relevant field prior to engagement.
- Rate: Competitive day rate commensurate with seniority. To be agreed.
